Tutorial for the baby onesie

Kim contacted me and asked how to make the onesie card like I posted a little while back. I thought perhaps others would like to know as well. It really is a fairly easy card to make and everyone loves it!

The first step is to cut a piece of cardstock in half long way. The cardstock should measure 4 1/4″ x 11″. Fold it in half.

You want to use a 1 3/8″ circle punch (item #119860) to cut the neck out of the folded end of the cardstock. Cut just a half circle.

Use that same circle punch to punch out the leg holes (bottom corners of the card).

For the arms, measure down from the fold approx. 1 1/4″ and cut straight into the card about an inch. Be sure you are cutting through both the top and bottom of the card. From there, cut diagonally down to the corner where you punched the leg hole. For the second arm I like to take the piece cut away from the first side and trace it on the second side to make sure they are the same size.

To make the lace around the arm and leg holes you’ll need to once again use that circle punch. Punch a circle out of the white cardstock making sure there is plenty of cardstock on all sides of the hole.

Forget about the circle you punched out, you need the cardstock that you punched the circle out of. Turn your 1 3/4″ Scallop Circle punch (item #119854) upside down so you can position the circle in the middle of the scallop and punch.

Position the lace around the neck and leg holes and adhere. For the arms you can use the Scallop edge punch (item #119882) on some white cardstock and glue to the arms. Stamp and decorate your card as you like.

I hope this has helped you. If you have questions please feel free to leave them under the comments and I will answer them ASAP. Thank you Kim for asking – I’m happy to be able to help you out!

This is soooooooo cute! Your tutorial is fantastic. I love how you used the circle cut punch and the scallop punch. That was a great idea! I was so excited to find your instructionis because I am making these as invitations for my daughter-in-law’s baby shower. It was so easy to make and turned out so perfect and adorable. Thank you so much, Becky! 🙂

Thanks for such a great tutorial! Years ago I made this invitation card with some tweeks of my own for my own babyshower! Today I have featured it on my blog and gave you the shout out for the tutorial. Great work! http://runwaysandrattles.com/diy-invitation-cards/

Thank you for tremendously easy-to follow instructions for making the onesie card. I’ve had the pleasure of making 8 of them to friends with babies. I linked back to you on my website and I just wanted to share my gratitude with all fellow crafters here. Thank you!
